Integrated virtualization

The server supports VMware ESXi installed on a USB memory key or one or two SD cards in the SD Media
Adapter for System x. The USB memory key is installed in a USB socket inside the server. The SD Media
Adapter is installed in a dedicated slot inside the server.
When only one SD card is installed in the SD Media Adapter, you can create up to 16 volumes, each of
which is presented to UEFI as a bootable device. When two SD Media cards are inserted, volumes can be
mirrored (RAID 1) across both cards, up to a total of eight mirrored volumes. The use of mirrored volumes
improves system availability because the server remains operational, even if one SD card fails. The RAID
functionality is handled internally by the SD Media Adapter.
The following table lists the virtualization option.
